Top-hinged windows that open outward and stay open in light rain, good for baths, basements and high walls.
An awning window is hinged at the top and opens outward and upward, like an awning over a shop. The opening shelters you from light rain, so you can let fresh air in even when it drizzles. They are often placed high on a wall, in bathrooms and in basements, or stacked under a fixed picture window. Homeowners in Nashville like them for privacy and ventilation in rooms where a standard window would feel exposed.
We look at where the window sits and how you want to use it. We recommend sizes, glass and finishes and talk about screens and cranks. For a bathroom, we often use frosted or textured glass for privacy. For a basement, we consider security and egress. We measure the opening, install the window and seal it with flashing and sealant, then show you how to operate and lock it.
The sash tilts out and shelters the opening, so air comes in even in a light shower.
Awnings work well high on a wall for privacy, or under a picture window for ventilation below a view.
Frosted or textured glass keeps baths and low rooms private while letting daylight through.
A crank or lever opens the sash. We choose hardware that is easy to use and built to last.

In light rain, yes. The sash shelters the opening. In heavy wind-driven rain, close them.
High on walls, in baths and basements, and under picture windows.
They seal well when closed, and glass choices matter as much as the style.
Usually not, because the sash does not open wide enough. Casements or sliders are better.
